A little-used reserve prior to last Monday, Brown became infamous for a forgettable third quarter stretch against Georgia in the College Football Playoff Championship Game. First, he punched Georgia's Wyatt Payne. After he returned to the sideline, Brown started jawing with an Alabama assistant coach, who he then shoved in the chest before getting restrained by a teammate. Brown re-entered the game and subsequently made a clothesline tackle. "I really felt like a jerk," Brown said after the game. "That’s not how I am. I wanted to win, that’s what it was. I did something stupid. I could have cost us the game." Per reports, Brown was actually on his way out of Tuscaloosa before last Monday. Brown had applied and been accepted to Tennessee State before the game took place. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound edge rusher was a four-star prospect coming out of high school. He's reportedly already taking classes at TSU. Jan 15 - 8:03 PM

Brown and Newton were in Atlanta on Thursday for Newton's annual 7-on-7 tournament. "(Newton) was just like Alabama ain't where I need to be. He was talking to one of my teammates who had on an Alabama visor. He was talking about how he needed to get an Auburn visor and stuff like that," Brown said. "It was crazy." The four-star defensive end lives a mere 45-minute drive from Auburn. "He was like, 'you don't need to worry about that,'" Brown said of the moment Newton found out he was going to Alabama. "'Come with Auburn.'" Sun, Jun 1, 2014 08:11:00 PM
